This shit is so fucking odd. I remember when they nabbed one of Decrepit Birth's guitarists for child porn. I wish people would attempt to explain in bits like these why dudes feel impelled to do this shit (at all, no less) to children.

Of course he plead guilty. The prosecutors had a load of evidence to dump on him otherwise. He was staring down a gun barrel.

The only crime he actually committed was distributing child porn (because conspirating to commit a crime is not committing a crime). And yeah 27 years is a lot of time to serve for that but I can't say it's unfair.

But I have a couple questions. Child porn includes porn featuring people under the age of consent (which is 18 in the US). The age of consent differs in other countries though. And, from a biological perspective, some people reach a sexually mature state (able to concieve and bear children) earlier than 18 so it doesn't seem so incorrect to be attracted to someone younger than 18 even if the one attracted to them is considerably older. So do you have another cut-off age in mind when you think of child porn or do you stick with the under-18 limit?
